Crystal plasticity is mediated through dislocations, which form knotted configurations in a
complex energy landscape. Once they disentangle and move, they may also be impeded by …

The increasingly harsh environment of the nuclear reactors and the insurmountable flaws of
in-service materials have created an urgent need for the development of the brand-new …

In fusion reactor environment, helium bubble acts as a crucial inducement to the
performance degradation of plasma facing tungsten, leading to irradiation hardening and …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit outstanding radiation resistance over traditional alloys
owing to severe lattice distortion, and therefore, would be regarded as candidate materials …

Nanometric voids are one of the fundamental defects generated by neutron irradiation in
fusion environment, which impede dislocation motion and cause hardening of plasma facing …

Post–neutron irradiation examination is performed on advanced accident-tolerant fuel (ATF)
cladding iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys with∼ 10–13at.% Cr,∼ 10–12 at.% Al,∼ …

Tungsten is used for vital applications in nuclear industry, particularly in experimental fusion
reactors like ITER. Experimental evaluation of the irradiation-induced hardening is usually …

This work presents a comprehensive examination of the physical mechanisms driving
hardening in irradiated face-centered cubic FeNiCr alloys. The evolution of irradiation …

A new computational methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) Discrete Dislocation Dynamics
(DDD) in barrier-strengthened materials is developed. We couple the discrete 3D DDD …

In an attempt to bridge the gap between atomistic and continuum plasticity simulations of
hydrogen in iron, we present three dimensional discrete dislocation plasticity simulations …
